After spending the last few weeks clinging to sundresses and sandals, reality hit the second I felt that first crisp breeze. Fall is officially on the horizon. And while I was still mentally sipping iced lattes, my closet was begging for a seasonal refresh. Cue the suede jacket.
It’s the piece I always circle back to, no matter the year. My first suede jacket was a hand-me-down from my aunt (read: I totally “borrowed” it for years), and somehow it still looks brand new.
That’s the magic of suede. It’s timeless, durable, and makes even the laziest outfit look like you spent hours planning it. Pair it with denim, layer it over a sweater dress, or throw it on with leggings for a polished-but-comfy vibe.
Bonus: you don’t need to splurge. We found suede jackets starting at just $40 that nail the luxe look.
